Automation for advanced LNG storage facilities

Boil-off gas (BOG) is an inherent challenge in LNG storage due to heat ingress through tank walls and operations. Effective BOG management requires precise tank pressure monitoring, automated compressor controls and integrated reliquefaction systems. Modern automation platforms are designed to improve BOG handling by coordinating management for these factors in near-real time. This integrated approach supports tank-pressure management and helps operators limit product losses and manage  operating costs.

Precise tank level measurement is critical for preventing overfills and detecting leaks in storage facilities. Our gauging systems use servo and radar technology to provide accurate, near real-time data to give you better visibility on your tanks. When tank gauging integrates with fire and gas detection systems, you can automate emergency responses to hazardous conditions. This approach helps protect personnel, equipment and the environment by enabling proactive safety management.

Floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) face distinct challenges including vessel motion, space constraints, and the need to integrate ship and process systems. Automation must account for dynamic positioning, cargo sloshing, and coordination between shipboard and process controls, among others. Successful FSRU automation requires systems designed to handle third-party equipment integration and maintain safety under harsh marine conditions.
